Premium Feature Scenario 1 – “How can I share capacity across my hosts?”
Storage Partitioning
Storage partitions are created when you define Host-to-logical Drive Mappings. Partitioning allows administrators to create multiple virtual systems from a single DS3000 series disk system. Each partition represents a virtual disk system and consists of one or more logical drives assigned to an individual server or group of servers.
Create Host-to-Logical Drive Mapping can be administered by going to the Configure tab. At the Configure window, select Create Host-to-Logical Drive Mappings.
This will open the Create Host-to-Logical Drive Mappings - Select Host window.
Select the host you would like to map and click Next. This will take you to Create Host-to-Logical Drive Mappings – Select Logical Drives screen in which you select the logical drive(s) you wish to be mapped to the host.
